Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (ゴジラvsデストロイア Gojira tai Desutoroia?) is a 1995 Japanese science fiction tokusatsu kaiju film featuring Godzilla, produced and distributed by Toho. It is the 22nd installment in the Godzilla franchise and the seventh and final film in the Heisei series. The film is directed by Takao Okawara, written by Kazuki Ōmori and stars Takuro Tatsumi, Yōko Ishino, Yasufumi Hayashi, Sayaka Osawa, Megumi Odaka, Masahiro Takashima, Momoko Kochi, Akira Nakao, Shigeru Kamiyama and Saburo Shinoda. In Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Kyohei Yamane's grandson Kenkichi must help the Japan Self Defense Forces in their efforts to stop Godzilla from undergoing a nuclear meltdown; in the process, they encounter Destoroyah, a monster created from the Oxygen Destroyer.
The film was released in Japan on December 9, 1995 and released direct-to-video in the United States in 1999 by Columbia TriStar Home Video. It was the last Godzilla film to be produced by any studio until 1998's Godzilla and the last Godzilla film to be produced by Toho until 1999's Godzilla 2000. The film received global publicity for Toho's announcement that they would kill Godzilla. It was the final film to be scored by Akira Ifukube before his death eleven years later.
